' LEST WE FORGET Just another freshman class came to L.C. four years ago — that is just another to outsiders. To the members of this class, it was something special. Of course, our class went through the usual mem- orable things, such as initiation, freshman-junior wedding, and the Y installation. We got swell junior sisters and did all that is L.C. ' s tradition. However, there were the personal things: taking Gail out for a game of tennis with luminous tennis balls; Cox and Jimmie ' s frequent decorating of Mrs. Johnson ' s room with plastering from her ceiling because their room above hers happened to be the hang-out of the freshman class; Betty Cook ' s putting cold cream on all the door knobs during the night. Then there was the time Reyn and Mary Alice, who had a pipe code system with the people overhead, had Mrs. John- son as a visitor — when a vital message came clanging over the pipes. Don ' t ask me how they explained that. Marion Middlebrooks got hold of an old cow horn in those days. When she blew it, it could be heard at Rhodes-Perdue ' s. Mrs. Johnson warned her about it in no uncertain terms. One day, there came a sound that could be only one thing — Middle ' s horn. She blew it in the hall, down the stairs, and out the windows. Yes, there came Mrs. J ; but Middle greeted her with I wondered if you were ever com- ing. After this statement, she handed Mrs. Johnson a bar of candy. Such things went on all year, cli- maxed by half of our class getting quadrangled at the end of school for going to a late Saturday movie. During the quadranglement, a quadrangle song was written. That ended our freshman year. In the fall of ' 44, we felt important. There was a class below us, and we prepared a careful initiation for them. No one living in Hawkes then can forget events such as the time when Jane Carter, coming in a little late, chose to enter through a window. It would have been a good entrance if the window pane hadn ' t fallen out and crashed through the dea silence. Lavene, Gail, Ann Duncan, Mary Hearc Linda Griffith, and her roommate supplied the ha with the fragrance of onion sandwiches. Bubbe Dunson ' s wolf wagon was an attraction that yeai But the main memory is the fact that we were give credit for giving the best party of the year. It wj called Breeze Inn, and Mr. Bailey came as Charlc Boyer. We also gave the chapel program in whic we imitated our big sisters. After that, we sang t them from Hawkes and realized we were losin people that meant two wonderful years of friend ship. Juniors! Upperclassmen! Prestige! Water tha would stay on. . . . Mattresses that felt like mat tresses . . . and yes, Heat! Many of our class ha left, and Reyn and Mary Alice were still in the othe buildings with the two classes below us. Sue De came to us. She was calm, we thought, until sh burned up her curtains on the hot plate. The bi event of the year was our homecoming. Old class mates came back and helped us give our secon Breeze Inn party. We finished our third year b taking over the senior store. Dignity! It may not fit some of us, but that what being seniors is supposed to give us. Onio feasts of our sophomore year have been replaced b sardine feasts. Names of the feasters will not b given. We got information about Cuba and dis cussed things with Mrs. Quillian, pro and con. O course, time will tell, but if conditions permit, tb seniors of ' 47 will have been to Cuba by the tim this is read. What with Cuba, this year ' s operett: recitals, comprehensives, and graduation, smoothe into harmony with our sincere loyalty to each othei we bring to a happy and sad close four years c unforgettable experiences. 14
